Goblin Fact

There is a Goblin of the Year Award and every goblin wins it every year

Still boggling at this wonderful 2009 paper about how either economics is true, or computer science, but not both.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1002.2284.pdf

<< The majority of financial academics believe in weak form efficiency and the majority of computer scientists believe that P≠NP. The result of this paper is that they cannot both be right: either P=NP and the markets are weakly efficient, or P≠NP and the markets are not weakly efficient.>>

Another important take-away from my meetings already: calling MEPs is way more effective than e-mailing them.

E-mailing MEPs with a standard e-mail from a template can actually be counter-productive.

If you can, please *call* your MEPs. You can find your MEP here:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html

If you'd rather e-mail, please write two-three paragraphs in your own words, from your e-mail address. Even if it's not as slick as the template, it will work way better!

Tomorrow, there’ll be a debate in UK Parliament on whether to ban online platforms used by sex workers, inspired by Trump’s FOSTA/SESTA legislation. While the tories leading the debate claim that it will combat trafficking, it definitely will harm sex workers, creating further risk.

You can use this online form to write to your MP, to ask them to speak up against such legislation.
